The food here was not bad. Three stars because some of the dishes we ordered were really oily. Service was good and there is ample free parking. We started with the Tea Leaf Salad, a staple of Burmese restaurants. Their tea leaf salad was not bad. It had all of the standard ingredients, but was a little oily. Although it's not available here, we actually prefer our Tea Leaf Salad with dried shrimp, as it adds to the umami flavor. If you've never had Tea Leaf Salad, this is a good dish to try here. Next, we had the Mango Salad. We were a little bit apprehensive when it arrived because it looked like it would taste just like the Tea Leaf Salad. Fortunately, it has a very different taste. The pickled mango was really good. This salad also includes fried onions and fried garlic, but just enough to flavor the dish with something crispy without making it greasy. Unlike the Tea Leaf Salad, this salad was not oily at all, making it a healthier option. We would definitely order this one again. Our next dish was the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. As noted in other reviews, the Garlic Eggplant is a really popular dish. For another $5, you can order it as a shrimp dish. The taste of this dish was good, but it was really greasy. The eggplant was just sopping with oil. This is a good dish for people who don't mind the oil. But for people who do, it's not a good choice. We also tried the Salmon Lemongrass Fusion. The description sounded really good. The flavor of this dish was also good, but it didn't pair well with the Garlic Shrimp with Eggplant. Both have a brown sauce that taste kind of the same. We probably should have ordered the Dry Curry Chicken instead, which has a different base. The salmon was a little dry. It really needed the sauce for hydration. This sauce seemed to have a lot of oil in it, too. We checked their website before going. When we signed up for their text messaging, we received a 20% discount coupon, which we used for this dinner. Overall, the price after discount was reasonable. Many of the dishes appeared to be wok fried. Not sure if we'll be back due to the oiliness of the dishes we tried today.
If you're looking for some decent Southeast Asian food, this is definitely one of your go-to spots in the Warm Springs area (if you live in south Fremont, very close, or if you live in Milpitas!) -- thank you to the MANY Yelp friends that put me on this place, because I do not regret deciding to go to this place. This restaurant can be packed at times due to its limited seating, so my best suggestion would be to plan accordingly WHEN you want to go for lunch or dinner. However, everything else is impeccable -- from the hospitality, to the food, to the environment. Here's how my experience went:There was a little bit of a wait when I went with my family -- maybe at tops 15 minutes? That wait was worth it though -- so there's that. However, as soon as we got seated -- they introduced us to some of the special dishes that they had. The waitresses answered our questions with lots of professionalism, which we honestly felt welcomed. We got the Aw No Khao Swye, and two more dishes. They were really saucy, and very rich in flavor -- not too saucy and overbearing in flavor. We got their salad and also their chicken over coconut sauce, most of which were absolutely delicate and yummy things. I really appreciated the fact that a lot of work was put into making these dishes taste really good. Their tea was also top tier too! I would definitely come back to try more of their dishes :)
Came here for lunch with a friend per her recommendation. Was pleasantly surprised with the food. This isn't the traditional take of Burmese food as I thought. They really tweaked to the local western taste here and the dishes that we ordered were delicious especially the tea salad. It reminded me of another chinese cuisine (Hakka version of tea salad/rice). That said this dish is refreshingly tasty, zesty and fragrant (from the fried peas and garlic and their own special house concoction of the tea mixed dressing). Highly recommended to try this. (Note: The dish typically is served to table with all mixed in. However in our case we asked not to pre-mix the various ingredients when serve to us. Thus you can see from my photo here, the beautiful plating and dish presentation. We also ordered the garlic noodles that came with a side sauce you are supposed to mix in to enhance the flavor even more. The noodle itself was already tasty on its own though. Also ordered their garlic eggplant which again was very tasty and silky. The only nitpick was the dishes were a little too oily and I felt bloated after the meal. So next time I come, I will ask to reduce the oil... Ambiance: Nice spacious interior seatings and ample parking. Only complaint is it can get a little too noisy on weekends. So a good place to enjoy meal but not a good place for deep conversation.
Food was delicious , while on the road we stopped here and were surprised with a wonderful meal, the food we tasted is making us wanna go back for more, I wish we'd still in the East Bay ! Great attentive service Ambiance is very simple, good tables and tasteful decor, very well lit We loved the Coconut Chicken Noodle soup , basil chili beef and garlic noodles Not dog friendly since there is no outdoor dining, plenty of parking right outside the restaurant.
Had the pleasure of trying this place with a close friend on a Saturday for lunch around 3:00 pm. It's a well known restaurant in Fremont for its Burmese food, which you can also find in San Jose and Sunnyvale for other Burmese restaurants. It's an imitate, classy dining experience with fine dining aspects. Lots of open tables when we walked in, after/before the lunch rush, and they also have a bar for alcoholic drinks. We were sat immediately at a booth. They also serve cucumber water, so healthy and refreshing. We ordered a tea leaf salad, deep fried lotus roots, and Nan Gyi Doks. The deep fried lotus has a great golden brown color, and the server gave us a tip to wait a bit so it would get even crunchier. It was crunchy and not too dry. They paired it with a garlic aioli, and it added a great savory flavor. The tea leaf salad has a complex earthy taste from the nuts, dressing, and veggies. Very filling despite being light and easily shareable. The Nan Gyi Dok had a beautiful presentation of golden and brown colors. The sliced egg added a pop of white color that really stood out as additional protein. It was savory, great sauce, and good chunks of meat inside the noodles. I only ate half as it was very filling! I definitely recommend this place if you want to try Burmese food!
Went here for lunch after a hike with family. Always love a good tea leaf salad and this place offers one to satiate that desire. The place looks regular from outside but its pretty nice and neat inside. The host & servers are also welcoming and the service was fast. Not too crowded for a Sunday lunch. There are ample veggie options and they can also take request to adjust for vegetarians. If you like a little spicier, go for their medium spice, as the mild versions were a little bland.
went on a Saturday for late lunch, place was mostly empty by then samosas - 6/10 nothing too special? felt a lil dry mango salad - 7/10 okay maybe I've never had mango salad before but this was more salad than mango - also note that it's green mango so if you're expecting the yellow sweet kind then nah ; not bad tho, just felt like alt salad to me lamb curry - 8/10 pretty good, didn't have the gamey lamb taste so that was nice ohn-no khao swe - 9/10 don't even know what this was but it was great - had noodles in a soup w chicken service seemed fine as-is; server was chill & talked to us like we were homies which was kinda funny?
I've been to Burma Bay Cafe a few times, and it's been consistently good. Their salads are a standout and pair well with many of the dishes on the menu. Portions are generous, and everything comes out quickly, which is always a plus. The servers are super nice and attentive, making the dining experience very welcoming. The restaurant is also spacious, so it's a great fit for big parties or group gatherings. A solid spot if you're craving flavorful Burmese food with fast service and a comfortable setting.
Pretty solid flavors and dishes! We had the salt & pepper calamari, burmese style chicken curry, burmese garlic noodles, and lamb kebat. The calamari was super crispy on the outside with big chunks of squid. The chicken curry was flavorful but a bit in the salty side, and I wish there was more sauce. The chicken portion is generous though! The garlic noodles were fragrant but on the sweeter side. I liked the addition of cucumbers for a nice refreshing crunch. Lastly, the lamb kebat was a really earthy dish and slightly gamey. Interesting dish! Workers were very nice and food comes out so fast! The place itself is super spacious. Overall, pretty good spot!
I've never had Burmese food before and when my friend suggested it for her birthday, I couldn't say no and I'm glad we were able to try it out. We can when they opened at 11AM and were seated right away. The space is bright inside, clean, with many tables and booths. Here's what we ordered for the 4 of us to share: Burmese Rainbow Salad $14.95 (4/5) Comes with thin egg noodles, vermicelli noodles, jasmine rice, and lots of cut up veggies (cucumber, potatoes, papaya, onions) and it came warm. So when you think of salad you think cold... but this was an interesting combo i think because of the noodles and rice had to be heated up. Moh Hin Ga (pureed catfish chowder) $14.95 (3/5) This also was really interesting. It was thick soup and had small pieces of pureed catfish floating around. Lots of flavor going on. I think after having the salad and the same type of noodles going on. This was just ok. Lettuce wrap with tofu $12.95 (4/5) We got the sauce on the side and good thing we did because the tofu was really well seasoned. Went well with the lettuce wraps. Dry Curry Chicken $17.95 (4/5) When you see dry, you think why would they serve dry anything. Nobody likes dry foods. But this was good. The curry coconut sauce is just reduced down with the chicken and string bean, bell pepper, and okra. I would get this again. Honey & Lemon Beef $18.95 (5/5) Thin strips of meat, crunchy beef sweetened mayonnaise, sweet chili sauce, condensed milk, lemon, and honey. This was tasty. For dessert they gave us mango ice cream and with a candle sparkler! Service was great! Burmese food I think is similar to Thai dishes and I think I would definitely come back to try more!
It was not crowded at all and Interior is clean, nothing Picturesque. Tea salad was very good. Ohn no khao swe noodle soup was decent. Burmese garlic noodle we asked for spicy one, we got them spicy. Good service as not much crowd was there, won't mind going again. Biggest problems was not the food but the rather their bowls, particularly for a soup it was very narrow bowl for a noodle soup, it was hard to mix or move the food around, next the bowels given to eat for the soup were very small, that too for a noodle soup made the whole experience poor, if it wads not for that I would have added another star.
It was the only place open in the area with not-bad food at 3pm on Black Friday, so here we came. We were pleasantly surprised! Liked everything we ordered: lotus root crisps, tea leaves salad, a onion-y tomato-y cumin-y beef dish, garlic noodles, sticky rice dessert. My only slight complaint would be that the garlic noodles were too heavy on the sauce; I couldn't finish the last 1/3 bottom of it. The tea beer was also a nice find. It's from an Alameda brewery and doesn't seem to be sold anywhere (not even on the brewery's website). I regret not bringing a few cans home. Yes - it's that good and it's worth the restaurant alcohol premium!
I wish Burma Bay Cafe was in San José. The food was tasty, service was great, and the portions were a good. I only wish that my tea leaf salad wasn't already mixed. It's fun to be able to mix it yourself. There were a good amount of people in the restaurant due to a party, but we didn't have to wait long for our food. We ordered the garlic noodles, garlic shrimp & eggplant, tea leaf salad, black pepper beef, tofu & vegetables. For birthday celebrations, they'll bring out scoops of ice cream with a sparkler on top. I love how there are plenty of parking spots in the plaza. Will come back again in the future to try other items on the menu. read more

I've been here a few times with my team at work. They like this place because a few of them are vegetarian. The portions are generous and easy to share. I came back with my husband and ordered the following: - tea leaf salad (5/5) best version have had because they also have cabbage and more seeds/nuts - fried chicken Burmese style (4/5) like the topping of fresh mango, cucumber, red onions but don't like they used can pineapple - pumpkin curry shrimp (3/5) prefer Thai version; ok but not used to this - Burmese dessert with ice cream 5/5 It's a clean, spacious, and modern restaurant. Service was great. read more

Came here at noon on a Sunday and it was pretty empty with only 1 table occupied. I really liked how the menu specified Gluten free dishes. We orderd tea leaf salad, Nan Gyi Dok, pineapple rice. The salad was ok. It was already mixed when they served. The taste was not too strong as the others I've tried before . I'd give it a 3.5. Nan Gyi Dok was pretty good. We thought it was a soup noodle but it wasn't which was ok. I give it a 4. Pineapple fried rice was a disappointment. It's a very simple fried rice with pineapple in it and which I can cook at home. I'd give it a 2. Overall was ok. The price was reasonable . read more

Solid spot for Tea Leaf Salad! I used to DoorDash from them back when they resided in Santa Clara. I dined in with some friends for an early birthday dinner in August and we got a variety of dishes: *Tea Leaf Salad *Mango Salad *Vegetarian Palata *Salt & Pepper Calamari *Garlic Noodles + Tofu *Basil Chili Beef *Jasmine Rice *Shwe Gyi Burmese Semolina Cake + Mango Ice Cream *Mango Mocktail Mojitos *Glass of Prosecco Wine Their tea leaf salad was already mixed when it arrived at the table. It has so many crunchy aromatics like garlic chips, peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, yellow beans, tomato, jalapeño, lemon, and their fermented green tea leaf oil dressing on a mix of romaine/cabbage. Mango salad was interesting. The dressing was mango flavored instead of having actual mango chunks in the salad. Refreshing. Basil chili beef is my fave and gotta have steamed rice with it. Savory and filling. Salt n pepper calamari is always a welcome app. Crunchy and chewy. Love palata, whether it's the veggie or yellow chicken curry version. Crispy flaky layers. Garlic noodles were on the sweet side but I like the type of noodles they use. The place is pretty spacious and they had a large group celebrating when we went. Service is pretty fast too and they're accommodating. We were pleasantly surprised by how delicious the shwe gyi dessert was! It was hot and steaming from the oven with a cool scoop of mango ice cream (choose from that, vanilla, or chocolate). It tasted like a slice of spongy but slightly grainy cake. Staff topped it off with a festive birthday flare to celebrate! I'll have to bring the family here one day. Until then, I'll keep ordering tea leaf salad for take out. read more

Kristine F., thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you…
Great food, except my favorite dish, Khawsay, was written in the soup section, which means I couldn't control the curry (liquid) in my bowl because it was fully prepared and served. Usually, we build our own bowl with the toppings we like. Still, it was delicious, but chicken with mint and Jalapenño wins the heart and stomach. It's even better with paratha, but you can enjoy it with white rice as well. Here is the list we ordered. Minted Jalapeno Chicken Jasmine Rice Nan Gyi Dok Ohn-no Khao Swè (Coconut Noodle Soup) Palata It was Tuesday at 12:30 pm, lunchtime, and the place was crowded. The service was delightful, and the whole team was invaluable and smiling during rush hours. Thank you, Shang Shanng Love to go back soon. Great Ambiance and yummy food, plus good service, what else can I ask for? read more

Wanted some tea leaf salad so looked it up and stopped by. I ordered through toast and it was very convenient. The place wasn't crowded starting to fill up from the lunch crowd so it was noisy when you enter. The food was ready to go. I drove 15 min home and ate it. Tea leaf salad: 4.5 stars. everything was so fresh. I like that they used a mix of Romaine and cabbage. However, I wished the not the cabbage and romaine was in thinner shreds because you have to take such a big bite (minus 0.5 stars). However they packaged everything separately which was very thoughtful. The seeds and nuts were crunchy. Tea leaf dressing was so good. Yummy. Definitely satisfying. I could probably eat it all myself. Dry curry shrimp: 5 stars. Love that they let you choose your spice level. For the little one, I picked a non spicy. The okra and green bean were so good, texture is great and flavors were so on point but not spicy. Also there was plenty of shrimp as well. I think this will be my new to go place!! read more

This place still retains its charm and reputation of good foods and good vibe. Efficient kitchen did not let customers stay hungry for too long. The prices of the dishes were okay as far as I can tell. We liked the garlic noodles with chicken the most. The basil chili beef was spicy (could have more basils and less cumin). The tofu saturated with string beans was different. Instead of using firm tofu, the chef chose bean curd. Overall, we ate more than we should. But what the hack, it's Saturday night. read more

I've been to Burma Bay multiple times with party sizes as small as two and large as six; each time the dishes always hit. The tea leaf salad and dried chili beef are a must--I always get it when I go! The string beans were yummy as well. Recently I tried to mango chicken, and that might move to the go-to list like the tea leaf salad. No complaints on the garlic noodles with chicken, pineapple fried rice, or samosas either. I would say my favorite dishes are either the dried chili beef (strong bold flavor) or mango chicken (light with actual mango fruit and real mango flavor). I did recently try the lemongrass salmon (not pictured) and that's the only dish that was a miss for me (still good flavor, just not very strong in lemongrass flavor as I was hoping). The service is solid too--staff is friendly and continuously refill my party's cucumber water. The food also comes out quick! Definitely will be back! read more

Hi Lesly! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience at…
Burma Bay Cafe stopped by as a pop-up vendor at my workplace and I was super happy to try them! I love Burmese food and this did not disappoint! Garlic noodles had a great flavor, a little softer than I'd prefer my noodles to be though. The Minted Jalapeño Chicken was extremely flavorful and I loved it! They also really piled it up for me! The tea leaf salad was also very delicious, crunchy and crispy throughout with a nice dressing. Overall, I loved that the meal wasn't overly salty and had great flavor. It was a well balanced meal of carbs, protein, and vegetables. Please come back as a pop-up vendor! But I'll definitely make it a point to stop by when I'm in the area to try their other offerings too! read more

I've heard a lot about this place so was excited to check it out! The food was AMAZING! We got the soup, tea leaf salad, garlic noodles and jalapeño chicken. Everything was amazing! The ambiance was okay and service could have been better. We were there close to closing time so that may have been the reason. Overall, highly recommend! read more

Hi Sabrina! Thanks for sharing your experience. We're thrilled to…
The Deep Fried Lotus is a great appetizer! It's very crunchy like chips and the seaweed aioli tastes similar to Honey Walnut Shrimp. The Tea Leaf Salad was refreshing and also had a nice crunchy texture to it. My friend and I visited on a Thursday evening and it was pretty quiet. The workers were nice and attentive with refilling our water and checking in on us. I would come back and try more dishes! read more
Some friends picked up a couple of dishes to share with us at a potluck. Tea Leaf Salad: A mix of Burmese tea leaves, fried garlic, yellow beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, tomatoes, jalapeños and lemon on a bed of cabbage and romaine lettuce (4/5). Tea salad is a classic Burmese dish! It's full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and loaded with crunchy, toasty texture in every bite. Dry Curry Chicken: Chicken, coconut milk, evaporated milk, string bean, okra, lemongrass, garlic, turmeric, paprika, curry powder and blue ginger (3.5/5). Good flavor and seasoned well. Come support your local business! read more

Hi Seema! Thanks for sharing your experience at Burma. We're so glad…
I wish I would've tried Burma Bay Cafe sooner! On my first visit, I strictly got vegetarian dishes, including the pumpkin curry, coconut rice, and fried lotus root. This fed my brother and I, and we even had leftover rice and lotus root to take home. I noticed that they served us cucumber-infused water, which definitely had a stronger cucumber taste. The coconut rice tasted exactly as named; it was sweet and paired well with the curry. The curry had a sweeter taste to it and was not spicy. There were plenty of veggies and tofu to make it filling. My favorite was the fried lotus root. It was like eating chips with aioli sauce. This too had a savory, sweet taste to it, and I would be happy to order it as my appetizer the next time I go. The food quickly came out as we didn't wait long for it after we ordered. We did come during a rush, so it took a bit of time to get our water topped off and to get our check, but that didn't bother us. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking to try something new in South Fremont! read more

Order food online using the coupon Burma bay sent. None of the work. Fine. Still ordered to pick up. After driving for 20 mins home and found out one dish was wrong. Called the restaurant, the answer is you have to go back restaurant to let us check. But I can't drive another 30mins back for a dish. Best way to handle is an apology and refund will be better but I want apology. They even asked me to text the pics of the food wrongly given to me. Told me they can't refund cause charge is gone through toast. Hello? Toast got the money or Burma bay got the money. Then said will get back to me. Now it is 2 weeks later, still nothing. That is fine, we will not be back for dine in or take out cause the customer service is garbage here. Ordered Burmese style beef , got watery curry chicken read more

An update since we came here one more time and actually dined in. We took family to dine here as they've never had Burmese food. So we decided to order the standard Tea Leaf Salad but ended up getting a few more items we've never tried. Parking was quite easy and it wasn't at all busy when we came by, just a few tables of folks dining in. We ordered the Burmese Style Chicken Curry, Vegan Samosa, Tea Leaf Salad, Salmon Lemon Grass Fusion, Burmese Garlic Noodles and Mango Shrimp. For me, everything was a bit saltier than I wanted. But the winners were were the Mango Shrimp (which were very tender), Salmon Lemon Grass Fusion, and Burmese Garlic Noodles. I of course died due to all the garlic, but it was well worth the heartburn. Service was very good and quite stellar. They had a table celebrating a birthday and they had sparklers for them! Overall, a good place to get your Burmese food fix with get great service and very flavorful food. Definitely check them out! read more
I've already been to this place 4-5 times, food is great, everyone I recommend it to loves it and comes back, always seating, sometimes more lively than others but never loud enough to have a hard time hearing each other, service is great, price is great, will keep coming back read more

Hi Selina G., thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled…
Such a clean and spacious restaurant. I tried the chicken kebat with ginger salad lunch special. Portion size was just right for lunch. The ginger salad was very satisfying, slightly sweet and tangy with crunchy seeds and nuts...so refreshing. The chicken was good with a hint is spiciness. I like that they have different rice options. Parking was easy and customer service was excellent. Staff checked in and refilled water frequently. read more
Food is good, service was amazing. Parking was sufficient. It's been a year since its opening and it's looks spacious and clean inside. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was not crowded during lunch time We started with samosas and tea leaf salad, both were good. Minty jalapeño was my fav in main dishes. Mango chicken was okay. Lemongrass salmon fusion was very strong on soy sauce side. It's an interesting take but flavors dont work together. In Eggplant garlic shrimp, the eggplant was undercooked, shrimp quantity was good. For dessert, both fried banana and dessert palata were heavy and in good quantity. I would skip them next time, nothing special. We still had a good time and will be back! read more

Wow amazing food! Honestly I wanted to leave a 5 start review but we had to ask for water and for someone to take our order multiple times. They are definitely understaffed. We finally got our first cup of water 30 minutes after sitting down. Some people that came after us got to order before we even got water so it felt like some things were in disarray. We tried a variety of the food, the samosa soup, fried lotus chips, garlic noodles and Burmese tea. Surprisingly the food came in a lot quicker than expected (especially after seeing how long it took for us to get water and order). All of the food had amazing food. The decor and ambiance is pretty plain but the food made up for it. Hope we get faster service next time! read more

I would suggest it because the place gets packed during peak times. We got there at 6:30 pm and there was lots of seating available. By 7:30 pm, all tables were occupied.

Yes the meats are Halal.
